The Wise Men's Journey

(Instumental) This piece was written by seeing the journey of the wise men. The opening note on the piano is the Star of Bethlehem. The shimmering is our trip down from the Star to the sands that are lit by the midnight sky. The first melody of music is the first camel as it slowly pa*ses by. When the melody begins to harmonize with itself, we see the secong camel pa*s. The third and final camel begins the majority of the piece. In the faces of the wise men we see weariness driven by faith. The gifts they are bearing are ones of request and honor. The music slows to reveal, over the last hill of sand, the little town of Bethlehem , the end of their journey and the beginning of hope.
